Bloody Surprise.

Visited a couple of mates heavily involved with the OOS Tree Sparrow Project, and the general concensus is that after two years and a difficult Spring resulting in Spadjers struggling they have made up some leeway due to the recent weather being more agreeable resulting in Insect proliferation, we remain optimistic.While at this location near to the Trout at Tadpole, incidentally a hostelry where the grub is excellent and the service superb. We feed and supply nest boxes for the Spadjers at the Trout with the support of the owners for which we are grateful. Snapped this Blood Veined Moth close to this location.

Blood-Vein Moth

The Eyes Have It

One for the silent majority ? My guess either Painted Lady or Small Tortoiseshell.

About Me

OXON FEATHER is a personal mainly birding blog, from a birder who is not a great twitcher as my identification skills leave a lot to be desired, and my real interest lies in the birds we used to be able to take for granted but now need our help, including many farmland species, among the birds I have on my help list are : Turtle Dove, Lesser-Spotted Woodpecker,Spotted Flycatcher, Nightingale, Tree Sparrow, Willow Tit and Grey Partridge to name just a few. I retired from farming about 2004 and retain many farming contacts some of them rather sensitive to strangers, so if I am sometimes unable to name sites I hope you will understand, as my priorities are the welfare of the birds and to respect the confidence placed in me by my contacts. I lost the love of my life Linda Mary (Linner)16/01/2012 and i'm strugglig to come to terms after being devoted to each other for 43 years of marriage. In time I hoped my loss would get easier but if anything I miss her more and more with each passing day - My sweet caring Linner.
